Daimonds have a density of 3.5 g/cm^3 how big is a diamond that has a mass of 0.10 g

Answer 1

You can set this question up in multiple ways.

You can set an expression up, so that:

(3.5g/1cm^3) = (.1g/xcm^3)

and solve for x, which would be:

3.5x/1cm^3 = .1 then 3.5x = .1 then x = .1/3.5 then x = 0.0287 cm^3

Or, you can set this up as a dimensional analysis problem:

(.1g/1 diamond)(1cm^3/3.5g) = 0.0287 cm^3

Hope this helps!
